Scientists solved the mystery of how the great pyramids of Egypt were constructed
The construction of the Egyptian pyramids remains one of history’s most enduring mysteries. For centuries, both historians and the general public have pondered the question: how did a civilization, without the technology we have today, move colossal stone slabs across vast distances to create these architectural wonders?
However, recent findings by a group of archaeologists may shed some light on the conundrum. Delving deep into the lands surrounding the Great Pyramid of Giza, the team embarked on a quest to validate a theory about how the ancient Egyptians might have achieved this remarkable feat.
To grasp the magnitude of the challenge, consider this: The Great Pyramid is composed of over 2.3 million blocks of limestone and granite, each weighing a staggering two tons. "It's a task that even today would require significant resources and engineering expertise," says Dr. Laila Hassan, a leading archaeologist. So, how did the ancient Egyptians do it?
One intriguing clue might come from the environment itself. The research team, through an in-depth analysis of the surrounding area, posits that the Egyptians cleverly utilized the waterways around them, specifically a tributary of the Nile, to transport the massive stones to the desert.
